Here's an idea. Instead of a planner at $70,000, why not hire 2 people that would do some work at $25 - 30,000 a year. That is the employee level that does the work, the higher paid employees, well, I'm still trying to figure out what they do. I have observed for many years, and it is my opinion that the more you get paid, the less you do - particularly in government.

Well said, Clint - Thanks. You are a classy guy.

And just think, biscuitboy & Henry BOTH lived to tell the tale....

but, back to my original thought, I don't care if the training is required - if it's not used, it's wasted... step up EFD - do your job and don't pass the buck to the next guy.

I'm wondering why EFD didn't clean it up. How much have they spent in HazMat training in the past, say 2 years. Surely with their training, they could look up the MSDS and determine they were qualified to handle it. If they determine they are not qualified, I think some people are overpaid for the training they get but choose not to use. Leading to my feeling that the EFD and EPD have let their "hero" classification go to their heads.

I couldn't agree with you more, biscuitboy - you said it very well.

Good Luck in your future. I always enjoyed the service, selection & prices at Dryers. And, mostly that they would leave the customer alone to "browse", unlike their high pressure, high priced, competitor.

HARSH - You probably like a good upstanding driver like Kyle Busch.

I'm sorry, but to my way of thinking, collecting someone's good faith money & not ordering the goods amounts to several things, theft and fraud come to mind first.
